What a joy-filled 91st birthday celebration for Sr. Gladys Hayward. Featuring newcomers to Résidence Bon-Secours, Sisters: Françoise Boisvert and Joan Foliot who read the Birthday Beatitudes and a poem from Joyce Rupp, respectively. Special thanks to Sr. Kay Duffin for singing spontaneously “My best to you.” The “Psalm celebrating God’s Providence” was read by Carmie Rizzo who happily organized the celebration.
“The Intersection of Ecology and Christianity” webinar with Heather Eaton took place on November 1 presented by Green Churches. Heather’s presentation focused on the history of eco theologies including the challenges, limitations and current developments in the efforts to “green” Christianity.
We had a communion service remembering the sisters of Visitation Province who died this past year. A candle was lit in their memory. As the names were called out, it was a somber reminder of the eight sisters who died at the CND Health Center this year. Our prayers continue for those who now live on in our memories. Following the service, a light snack and music was provided.
